triPOS Gateway Support

I know that a main goal for triPOS is to support other processors via Gateway processing on the backend. I have received confirmation that First Data is fully certified for this option. Is there any information hat can be provided about the other processors wanting to certify with triPOS? Specifically, which other processors are working on the certification and do we have and ETA on their completion?

You are correct, today triPOS Distributed (PC) supports both Vantiv RAFT and First Data Nashville for EMV processing. triPOS PC also supports B of A, TSYS, Chase and more when in EMV is not a requirement. As you can imagine, EMV certifications are complex and time consuming and that is one reason why we developed triPOS, to remove these costly certifications from our partners development efforts.

We do have a roadmap for adding more EMV capable processors, but unfortunately, the development work is too early to give a ETA on certs. Additionally, it's also important to consider device certifications. Vantiv's gateway product is not just determined by having a certification to the processor but also we take into consideration the demand for certain equipment. For instance, Verifone requires a separate integration/certification from Ingenico equipment. To add to the works, Vanitv has several Key Injection Facilities (KIF) that we need to work with once a new processor and device is certified, again this adds to the time it takes to go live with a new processor.

Last, each processor has variations in the type of functionality it can support. For example some may not support Level II or III card data while another might and the merchant and partner demand may be the reason we choose to certify processor A over processor B.

Hope this helps and please reach out again if you have more questions.

EMV support on TSYS and Global is now available in triPOS 5.15.0, but only for the Verifone Mx915/925 PIN pads at this time. EMV support on TSYS/Global for the Verifone Vx805 and Ingenico PIN pads will be coming soon, but we don't yet have timelines for their completion, as it's dependent on the speed of EMV certification for those devices with the TSYS/Global resources that our teams are working with.
